Apollo 17: The Untold Story of the Last Men on the Moon (2011)

Em 1970, a NASA envia à Lua um novo grupo de astronautas na missão Apollo 13. Porém, já no espaço, um tanque de oxigênio explode. Com o acidente, os astronautas Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert e Fred Haise não conseguem seguir sua rota, correndo o risco de ficar sem oxigênio e energia suficientes para voltarem à Terra. Agora, a equipe a bordo e a equipe em terra firme correm contra o tempo para consertar a nave.

A vida do astronauta norte-americano Neil Armstrong e sua jornada para se tornar o primeiro homem a andar na Lua. Os sacrifícios e custos de Neil e toda uma nação durante uma das mais perigosas missões na história das viagens espaciais.

Com o plano de desembarcar dois astronautas na superfície lunar e regressar para a Terra em segurança, a missão Apollo 11 é até hoje uma grande referência quando se trata de momentos importantes na humanidade. Durante décadas, trechos dos bastidores permaneceram guardados e apenas recentemente foram liberados para visualização do público no geral.

O filme começa com o discurso do Presidente Kennedy, em 12/09/1962 na Universidade de Rice, anunciando a meta da conquista da Lua. O restante do filme são filmagens da Nasa com as vozes dos astronautas da Missão Apollo, que nos leva numa viagem à Lua, desde aculturação dos trajes espaciais até a alunissagem. Filmagens realizadas pelos cientistas e engenheiros de Houston, são mescladas com as seqüências realizadas na órbita da Terra, vendo-se a terra recuar de dentro da cápsula espacial, circundar a Lua, apreciando-se a sua superfície de perto, o desembarque, e as cenas dos astronautas na superfície lunar. Com uma trilha sonora fantástica, o diretor nos leva a comprovar a teoria de Galileu, e refletir sobre esta maravilhosa experiência.

Archival material from the original NASA film footage – much of it seen for the first time – plus interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell, Dave Scott, John Young, Gene Cernan, Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt.

Em 1967, durante a guerra fria, quatro agentes da CIA se dirfançam de cineastas com a tarefa de se infiltrar na NASA e descobrir espiões. Fingindo ter a intenção de documentar a viagem da Terra à Lua, o que eles descobrem leva a uma das maiores conspirações na história dos Estados Unidos.

This is the complete story of NASA's Moon Missions, from Apollo 1 to Apollo 17, told for the first time using 4K and HD original footage taken by astronauts from the most iconic space voyages in history.

A história de vida de Neil Armstrong, passando por sua infância em Ohio, sua experiência de quase morte como piloto na Coréia, a missão Apollo 11 que o levou a pisar na lua, até sua relação com a fama que o seguiu depois. Com imagens nunca vistas do arquivo familiar de Armstrong, o documentário constrói um panorama emotivo da vida e carreira do primeiro homem a pisar na Lua.

On July 16, 1969, hundreds of thousands of spectators and an army of reporters gathered at Cape Kennedy to witness one of the great spectacles of the century: the launch of Apollo 11. Over the next few days, the world watched on with wonder and rapture as humankind prepared for its "one giant leap" onto the moon--and into history. Witness this incredible day, presented through stunning, remastered footage and interviews that takes you behind-the-scenes and inside the spacecraft, Mission Control, and the homes of the astronaut's families.

The inside story of America's race to the moon.

NASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy.

In December of 1968, three astronauts traveled to the Moon. This is the story of their lives and the amazing story of how they became the first human beings to travel beyond the confines of planet earth and reach the Moon. First to the Moon tells the amazing story of the Apollo 8 mission and the three men that crewed it. Through restored archival films from NASA, The National Archives, and the Astronaut’s own personal collections, this documentary takes you through time from the upbringing of each crew member and onward to present day.

From 1957 —the year in which the Soviets put the Sputnik 1 satellite into orbit— to 1969 —when American astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the surface of the moon—, the beginnings of the space conquest were depicted in popular culture: cinema, television, comics and literature of the time contain numerous references to an imagined future.

The remarkable story of the determination and courage of a generation. A tribute to three brave astronauts and the thousands of men and women behind them during the final days of NASA's Apollo program.

April 13th, 1970, 180,000 miles from Earth, a devastating malfunction leaves Apollo 13 leaking previous oxygen and its crew of three astronauts facing a life and death crisis. If Mission Control cannot find a way to bring Apollo 13 home, the astronauts will be stranded 200,000 miles from Earth in their dying ship. Now with limited power and supplies on board the spacecraft, the ground teams work around the clocking, engineering creative solutions to overcome carbon dioxide poisoning, dehydration and the freezing temperatures of deep space, to ensure the crew's survival. Using spectacular NASA footage, exclusive interviews with Apollo space scientists and stunning visual effects; this film explores the thirteen remarkable factors that brought the crew safely home, and the full story of the courage and ingenuity that cemented Apollo 13 as NASA's finest hour.

This extraordinary film features NASA film footage enhanced by AI-based software and other image processing. The clarity of the images gives viewers a whole new perspective on what it was like to step onto lunar soil and ramble about the alien landscapes. The film shows how teams of astronauts collected evidence that has revolutionized our understanding of the origin of both Earth and the moon.
